“Old Town” lightness certainly is appreciated 
v/hen it comes to a carry. And when you set the 
canoe back in the water, you marvel that such 
a strong, sturdy little craft can be so light. An 
“Old Town Canoe’’ answers to the slightest 
pressure of the paddle and will carry two 
men and dunnage in the shallowest water.

air to seem much colder. The wind was 
from the south, and low flying clouds , 
rapidly sped across the skies. Sudden- 
ly the wind shifted to the north; the 
mercury dropped quickly to twenty-eight 
degrees and was followed by a driving 
snow storm. The next morning the 
thermometer registered nine degrees, the 
air was clear and bright, and a good 
tracking snow covered the ground. We 
rode horseback over many miles, in the 
hope of seeing some blacktailed deer. 
We struck a few fresh tracks, but there 
were, also, the tracks of some hunter 
in pursuit who was more industrious 
than we. The autumn storms had not 
yet driven the game down from the sum- 
mits; it was too early to see much sign. 
Our course led us to some beautiful 
lakes, and into most attractive places so 
that we spent a happy day together. 
About the middle of October I was 
compelled to depart for home. The 
nearest railroad station was about sixty 
miles distant; and a blinding snow storm 
made our start most disagreeable. The 
necessary lowering of the windshield, to 
enable us to see the road, caused the 
snow to drift over us, and drench our 
clothing. Blair declared that this time 
I had come West too late, and was leav- 
ing too early. But two days later the 
thermometer registered below zero at 
Henry’s Lake and winter had set in to 
stay. I freely concede that, though I 
had gone West too late, I did not leave 
any too early. 
PITCHING THE 
FISHERMAN'S CAMP 
(continued from page 367) 
which are easily pitched and are fly and 
punkie proof. Much of northern bass 
fishing is in fly time, when Jiead nets 
must be added to the equipment, and to 
me the most satisfactory tent is one of 
canvas weave which will shed water yet 
let the air sift through it, so that it 
does not become stuffy at night. Punkies 
and black flies will get through almost 
anything, but if the tent is closed before 
retiring and every intruder sought out 
with the flashlight and squelched before 
retiring, one is pretty sure of a peaceful 
night’s sleep. 
When going where the mosquito is the 
only pest, we often take but a large fly, 
10 x 12 feet, and tie up a canoe on edge, 
lashing the bow and stern to two trees. 
The lower side of the canoe then becomes 
a shelf on which all the grub bags can be 
spread, handy to the cooks. The fly is 
secured to the bottom gunwale of the 
canoe, led out over its back, where the 
height will be some four feet, and then 
guyed out in front with a pole, making 
a peak in the center of the front edge. 
This gives a space some 10 x 8 feet in 
front of the canoe, where the eating 
table can be set up, and the grate is put 
just in front of the edge of the fly, or, 
in rain, just under the front edge. It is 
a quickly made camp for a crowd of men. 
At night all the sleeping bags are laid in 
a row under the tarp, and next day we 
are off and on our way mighty soon after 
breakfast. For a moving canoe camp 
the scheme is well to be recommended,
